A Time to Die
From the master of epic storytelling comes one of his greatest adventures yet- a towering novel of high suspense, breathtaking action and stirring romance. Set against the majesty of the African landscape, its great plains, swamplands, forests and mountains, A Time to Die is a story of courage and friendship, the thrill of the hunt, the savagery of war and the saving power of love.
Sean Courtney, professional hunter and veteran guerrilla fighter, is swept up in the savage tides of a new war. Caught between two rival armies, between his love for the beautiful woman at his side and his instincts as a trained fighter, Courtney finds himself the captive of a brutal enemy from his past. In the ordeal of danger and endurance that is to follow, Courtney is thrust once more into the front line of bloody battle, every nerve and sinew tested to the limit as hunter becomes the hunted in a wilderness ravaged by war.
A Time to Die is spellbinding entertain-ment, sweeping the reader from the great hunting grounds of Zimbabwe to the fierce heat of the Zambesi valley and the scorched wastelands of Mozambique. Excitement, stunning location and sheer narrative power are combined in a novel that vibrates with the author's deep feeling for the heartbeat of the African wild.
War Cry
In a triumphant return to his much-loved Courtney series, Wilbur Smith introduces us to the bravest new member of the famed family, Saffron Courtney.
Saffron grows up on a sprawling Kenyan estate, under the watchful eye of her father, prominent businessman and distinguished war veteran Leon Courtney. Her childhood is idyllic, until a family tragedy forces her to grow up much faster than necessary.
As she grows into a spirited teenager, her thirst for knowledge and adventure leads her to England, where she finds herself inevitably drawn into the heart of the gathering storm in the lead-up to World War II.
Gerhard von Meerbach is the privileged and idealistic younger brother of Konrad von Meerbach, heir to an industrial fortune, and vocal supporter of the Nazi Party. Gerhard struggles to stay true to his principles in an increasingly cruel world. His friendship with a Jewish man places him in danger, and forces him to take a stand against the forces of evil that have overtaken his country and his family. But, unknown to him, he is caught in a trap that could cost him everything he holds dear.
As the Second World War looms over them all, Saffron and Gerhard's worlds will collide - but will there be more to unite them than tear them apart?
A love story in the time of heroes, War Cry is the latest breath-taking episode in Wilbur Smith's epic account of one beloved family.
